Memphis Moves On From Head Coach Tubby Smith

Tubby Smith is out. The Memphis basketball head coach has had decent success with the Tigers, but external factors around the program have deteriorated.

Smith is out after just his second year with the program. He took over for Josh Pastner, who left to take over Georgia Tech basketball.

Smith’s departure from the program has been rumored for the past week, with ESPN’s Jeff Goodman saying the program had already found Smith’s replacement. He met with university president David Rudd and Athletic Director Tom Bowen earlier this afternoon.
